Countless fellow celebrities and fans have taken to Twitter to defend Kim Kardashian West after shock news she was tied up and held at gunpoint in an armed robbery in Paris.

Chrissy Teigen, James Corden and Piers Morgan all spoke out in support of the reality star following news she was locked in the bathroom of the luxury residence by five men reportedly posing as police.

While some trolls suggested the robbery was not newsworthy or suspicious, high-profile friends reminded them she was a mother-of-two and friend, first and foremost.

Kardashian West is now safely back in New York City with her husband. The couple pulled up outside their Manhattan residence on Monday with an entourage of about 10 vehicles, 15 bodyguards and members of the NYPD, TMZ reports.

Kim's mother Kris Jenner, along with her boyfriend Corey Gamble, also emerged from one of the vehicles. The reality star's bodyguard Pascal Duvier, who was reportedly not in the apartment when the robbery occurred, was also with them.
